| Reverse description | The bearded draped bust of the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama occupies the lower left of the field, rendered in high relief against the gold-toned inner disc, wearing a period hat and ornate armour with a cross motif. To his right, a large fully-rigged caravel bearing the Cross of the Order of Christ on its mainsail is depicted sailing on stylised waves, with an exotic coastal settlement visible in the background at right. The legend EUROPA E OS NOVOS MUNDOS arcs along the upper periphery, while VASCO DA GAMA appears in a cartouche at the lower right. The mint mark INCM is present in the field. |
